Agreed.

I actually like Conan.

I don't watch him a lot, but I thought his special on his trip to Finland was hysterical.

Yeah, he has some great footage out there. When he hosted "Late Night", he was miles ahead of everyone with a similar-format show. Hilarious, edgy, relevant.

When he took over the "Tonight Show", he had to scale back, which took a lot of firepower out of his schtick. Prior to leaving "Late Night", he even ran segments where he made jokes about what he, soon, could no longer joke about.

I'm the same way. He does some funny stuff, but a lot of stupid stuff also. His string dance, for example. Even if it's funny the first couple of times you see it, it's just stupid when he does it all the time.

I think he does that for the studio audience who want to say they saw it in person... or something.
